BioPharm Asia, Inc. Announces Status of Restatement of Financial Reports and Its Intention to File Form 10 to Commence Filing SEC Reports

NEW YORK, NY and TONGHUA, CHINA--(Marketwire - April 03, 2012) - Biopharm Asia, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: BFAR) announced a status update regarding restated financial results of 2008, 2009 and 2010. As the restatement process is not yet complete, the Company delayed in filing its 10-K, which was due on March 31, 2012, for the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2011. The Board of Directors made the restatement process a critical priority; management retained additional accounting staff to work with the Company's outside consultant and auditor to complete the requisite bookkeeping and associated statement preparation. However, the Company has not set a timetable for completion of this evaluation process and there can be no assurances that this review will result in any action.

The Company's shares are presently listed on the Pink Sheets segment. Although no longer required by the SEC, the Company intends to file the Form 10 and the accompanying audited financial statements after completion of the audits for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 and restatement of previous three years.

Additionally, the Company intends to submit a Form 2-11 with a Market Maker for the purpose of sponsoring its quotation on the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) - OTC Markets QB (OTCQB). The Company intends to file its Form 2-11 after the filing of the Form 10. Upon receipt of comments from FINRA, and submission of the Company's responses, FINRA may include the Company's symbol for quotation on the OTCQB. There can be no assurance, however, that the Company will be successful in obtaining the approval from FINRA and be able to trade on the OTC Markets.
